覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
regulated は regulate の過去形・過去分詞で、語末の e を取って -ed を付けます。語幹が /t/ で終わるため -ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、/ˈreɡjəleɪtɪd/。be regulated by laws のように受け身でよく使われ、「規則という定規で範囲を整え、管理された」と覚えます。
Connect regulated with regulate and regular: all suggest control according to a rule or standard. It is the past tense and past participle of regulate, formed by replacing the final silent e with -ed. Because the base ends in the /t/ sound, the ending is pronounced as an extra /ɪd/ syllable: /ˈreɡjəleɪtɪd/. Picture a ruler setting a straight boundary around an industry. The passive pattern be regulated by is especially common: an industry is regulated by law, or food safety is regulated by government agencies.

regulated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語regulare（regula「定規・規則」から派生、「規則に従わせる」）が語源。regulaはregere「まっすぐ導く」に由来し、定規で線を引くように基準を定めて管理する意味。関連語にrule（規則）、regular（規則的な）がある。
Regulated is formed from regulate and the past-tense or participial ending -ed. Regulate comes through Late Latin regulatus and regulare, associated with regula, meaning a rule, straight piece of wood, or measuring stick. Regula is connected with Latin regere, “to direct” or “to keep straight.” The physical image of setting a straight standard developed into the modern idea of controlling something through rules or adjustment.
